Australia, please get rid of that stupid deal to import US beef right now!

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.

After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.

Someone just pointed out to me that passing us worn out subs, at fabulous cost to us as well, is an excellent way to get rid of the huge cost of decommissioning these nuclear nightmares.
How stupid must Australia look.

Everybody: “that’s not public housing you dumb fuck”

[Declassified Australia @DeclassifiedAus]

In a major turn-around, Australia’s great ally, the United States of America, has pulled out of its commitment to build new #AUKUS submarines for Australia.

Instead, it’s proposing to sell some second-hand submarines to fill the gap — naturally Australia is selling this as a bonus.

Meanwhile, behind the AUKUS curtain, the US is expanding its military presence in Australia — as @DeclassifiedAus has been reporting.

💥 A new story drops here tomorrow on the increasing US military buildup. Stay tuned…

For those of you who say voting Independent & Greens is a wasted vote, spend some time watching these guys in Senate Estimates saving our democracy & holding Ministers & public servants to account. Two of our hardest working, most effective Senators ever.

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

Oh god. In the middle of a massive fuel crisis, that demonstrates danger of relying on diesel road freight, we are cancelling inland rail that would have reduced dramatically that reliance … to pay for AUKUS… a massive handout to the US military industrial complex who have cause the fuel crisis in the first place. Wow.

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

This article by @abcnews should be retracted in full, and an apology should be issued.

8 million Australians are not receiving 'income support'. The study relied on here openly counts accessing sick leave entitlements as a form of 'income support'.

O Google acabou de transformar mais de 1 bilhão de computadores em depósito de IA.

Inclusive o seu.

Sem pedir. Sem avisar. Sem um único popup.

O Chrome baixou 4GB de modelo de inteligência artificial no seu disco. O arquivo se chama weights.bin, são os pesos do Gemini Nano. Fica numa pasta chamada OptGuideOnDeviceModel dentro do seu perfil do Chrome.

Você não autorizou nada. Até existe uma configuração para impedir, mas tá enterrada em submenus que ninguém encontra. E as AI features vêm ligadas por padrão.

Se você deletar o arquivo, o Chrome baixa de novo. Sozinho. Em silêncio. Você decide o que fica no seu disco e o navegador simplesmente ignora.

Funciona assim em Windows, macOS e Ubuntu. Logs forenses no macOS mostram que o arquivo foi instalado dia 24 de abril de 2026, misturado com patches de segurança. Desenvolvedores dizem que isso já rola há mais de um ano.

E tem um detalhe que deixa tudo mais ridículo:

O Chrome 147 coloca um botão "AI Mode" na barra de endereço. Você vê aquilo, sabe que tem modelo de IA no seu computador, e assume que suas buscas rodam localmente.

Não rodam. O AI Mode é 100% cloud. Tudo vai para os servidores do Google. O modelo de 4GB no seu disco não tem nada a ver com aquele botão.

Ele serve para quê? "Help me write" e detecção de scam. Coisas que vivem em submenus de clique-direito que você provavelmente nunca abriu.

O Google ocupou 4GB do seu disco sem pedir, para rodar coisas que quase ninguém usa, enquanto a IA que você de fato vê manda tudo para a nuvem.

Na Europa, pesquisadores já apontam violação do Artigo 5(3) da Diretiva ePrivacy, que exige consentimento antes de armazenar software no dispositivo do usuário.

Como desativar:

→ chrome://flags
→ Busque "Optimization Guide On Device Model"
→ Desative
→ Reinicie o Chrome
→ Delete a pasta OptGuideOnDeviceModel

Seu computador só é seu se você ficar de olho.

How the fuck can the @sbsnews reader say the ceasefire in Gaza is "continuing to hold"?
Israel continuously attacks Palestinians in Gaza and have not stuck by a single agreement of stage 1.
Stop treating us like clueless morons who know nothing!

@Arkenstone8 @Thebestfigen You’re probably right but my parents did this in the 90’s with me and my sister sometimes. It was always seen as a good natured joke between the family so maybe not?

[ChillinOnTheLeft @LeftChillin]

@Liza19121912 @__Amoxicillin_ Probably because she actually wanted the child? Crazy idea, but women who want children can have complications that result in a necessary abortion in order to save their life and fertility so they can go on to have more children in the future.

[ChillinOnTheLeft @LeftChillin]

@daijumao 100% I wish I told my parents but the teachers made me think that this was what my parents wanted me to be doing instead. When I told my parents as an adult they were furious, but it was too late then

[ChillinOnTheLeft @LeftChillin]

@hon_iam @TheTNHoller @GinoBulso Agreed. My parents didn’t know because I thought this was what I was supposed to be doing. There was one other boy who was opted out and had to rake leaves with me.

More than $130M has been allocated for the antisemitism royal commission compared to Robodebt royal commission that cost $33.6M after 2030 innocent victims suicided. Why is the antisemitism RC costing 4 times the amount of the Robodebt RC that had 2000 more victims? #Herzog

@Div_Anand_ @chananacakes @Reply_Guy11 @fuckitwebawl_ I didn’t see where it said it happened in India but if so good to know AI would be taken seriously there
